Deadline nearing for Hannah Penn Leadership Awards

Nominations for the state’s Hannah Penn Leadership Awards will be accepted through Friday.

The awards, which were inspired by Hannah Callowhill Penn, the first woman to govern Pennsylvania, will be awarded to women committed to success and empowerment of women across the state. Judges will be looking for women who have demonstrated outstanding leadership and service in one of three categories: business leadership, civic and volunteer leadership or rising star (ages 16-29).

To be eligible, a woman must be 16 years or older and a legal resident of Pennsylvania. Recipients will be selected by a panel in February and honored at a reception in Harrisburg on March 19.

Nominations forms are available here. Entries must be postmarked or received via email by Friday.
